User:Iadmc/List of problematic 21st-century composer articles

These are taken from List of 21st-century classical composers. A-E problem articles have been dealt with over at WP:CTM (though others may surface). (I am going to review A-E again and add problem articles here.) Note to self and other interested parties: Where some are removed from the list (because they are not classical or "contemporary" etc), don't forget to remove any talkpage banners linking to WP:CTM or where ever.

F

• Jonathan FeBland -COI
• Joshua Fineberg - sea of red and needs other cleanup Actually not as bad as I first though: it just needs inlines and the book verifying plus more sources if possible. --Jubilee♫clipman 19:21, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Joseph Fitzmartin - BLP unsourced Note: Source now added but article is virtually verbatim from the source. Have tagged with {{close paraphrasing}} and will reduce to stub if not re-written in 24 hours. Notability extremely marginal. Voceditenore (talk) 18:30, 13 January 2010 (UTC) Update - reduced to stub, tagged {{primarysources}}. Voceditenore (talk) 07:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
• Tom Flaherty (composer) - Rather than Tom Flaherty...
• Philip Flood (composer) - rather than Philip Flood (diplomat)
• Carlo Forlivesi - no inline citations
• Yorgos Foudoulis - BLP unsourced Note: added official biography and tagged for {{primarysources}}. Voceditenore (talk) 17:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
• John Frandsen (composer) - BLP unsourced (and there is no conductor) Note: expanded and referenced. The John Frandsen (conductor) article was deleted for copyvio, but he too is notable and should have an article.Voceditenore (talk) 12:29, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
• Fabio Fresi - NN? Note: tagged for speedy delete - blatant copyvio. Voceditenore (talk) 18:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC) Gone. Thanks Voc, --Jubilee♫clipman 03:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
• Don Freund - BLP unsourced Note: erroneously tagged, has a source, but I've reduced it to a stub, blatant copyvio. Probably notable, but needs further independent sources. Voceditenore (talk) 12:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
• Aaron Funk - redirects to Venetian Snares who appears to be a non-classical musician Removed from list (please verify as non-classical)

G

• Bernhard Gál - BLP unsourced Note: erroneously tagged, has a source, have made that clearer, but have tagged for {{primarysources}}. Voceditenore (talk) 10:40, 14 January 2010 (UTC) Update Jerome Kohl (talk · contribs) and 84.114.175.164 (talk · contribs) have sourced this but these need verifying --Jubilee♫clipman 23:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
• Roberto García Morillo - unsourced - now sourced --Jubilee♫clipman 01:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
• Anthony Gatto (composer) - BLP unsourced
• Steven Gerber - Copy edit and Wikify
• Jon Gibson (musician) - BLP unsourced and copy edit dab lead Update this has been cleaned up recently but it still needs third party sources rather than just his official sites --Jubilee♫clipman 19:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Anthony Gilbert (composer) - BLP unsourced ODM --Kleinzach 07:35, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Update requested further sourcing (though ODM is a good start) --Jubilee♫clipman 23:46, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
• Gilles Gobeil - BLP unsourced and COI
• Daniel Goode - BLP unsourced (Primary only)
• Ron Goodwin - unsourced
• Annette Vande Gorne - BLP unsourced and COI
• Harold Gramatges - unsourced
• Jonny Greenwood - Is he technically classical? Yes he is: composer-in-res for BBC and several orchestral works, but these all need more prominance in his article
• Eric Gross - multi tag sourcing issues
• Adriano Guarnieri (composer) - rather than Adriano Guarnieri (skier)
• Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen - BLP unsourced stub
• Henry Gwiazda - BLP poorly sourced unsourced (primary plus deak/nonspecific links)

H

• Andre Hajdu - BLP unsourced and multiple other issues ODM --Kleinzach 07:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Just verify, copyedit and wikify now I think. Good work Deskford and Kleinzach. --Jubilee♫clipman 20:11, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Georg Hajdu - COI
• Cristóbal Halffter - BLP unsourced ODM --Kleinzach 07:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Could do with more but ODM good for starters --Jubilee♫clipman 20:39, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Bengt Hallberg - BLP unsourced; also, jazz rather than classical Removed from list (please verify as non-classical: he may have actually written a few notable classical works as it turns out)
• Peter Michael Hamel - BLP unsourced (or rather the only "source" is his own book)
• Jan Hanuš - unsourced beyond list of works - the link seems to be dead now (and in Czech so I can't really go much further with it): verify please. --Jubilee♫clipman 20:45, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Edward Harper (composer) - rather than Edward Harper (engineer) . Almost certainly meant to be the ex-Reader of Music at Edinburgh University as seen here rather than the electro-punk musician or the fugitive. (I knew Ed Harper from University, BTW. He died of cancer in 2009.)
• Kevin F. Harris - BLP poorly sourced
• Jonty Harrison - BLP unsourced and COI ODM --Kleinzach 07:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC) - Still COI and needs more verifiable RSs
• Lou Harrison - unclear citation style using ibid and mixing Harvard-style with linked footnotes and inline external links. The inlines are pretty lacking anyway. ODM --Kleinzach 07:59, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
• Svatopluk Havelka - single source, and that in Czech
• Hikaru Hayashi - BLP poorly sourced (mainly Japanese with one list of works in English)
• Anthony Hedges - cleanup tag - ODM added by Kleinzach but article still needs minor cleanup, IMO --Jubilee♫clipman 21:00, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Paavo Heininen - BLP unsourced - sourced from The Musical Times by Kleinzach now; needs more but not critical now --Jubilee♫clipman 21:02, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Mikko Heiniö - BLP poorly sourced ODM --Kleinzach 08:07, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Still stub but OMD adds a better source at least --Jubilee♫clipman 21:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Walter Hekster - BLP unsourced
• Gerard Hengeveld - BLP unsourced
• Pierre Henry - BLP unsourced ODM --Kleinzach 08:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Needs more work but fine for now --Jubilee♫clipman 21:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Hans Werner Henze - BLP lacking decent inlines and in need of better sourcing ODM --Kleinzach 08:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC) - update a lot of work has gone into this article since I last checked it: refs better and inlines ok. Please verify and give ok to remove from this list --Jubilee♫clipman 21:12, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• John S. Hilliard - BLP poorly sourced/cited
• Christopher Hobbs - BLP poorly sourced and with multiple other issues
• Gilad Hochman - BLP unsourced orphan with style issues
• Alun Hoddinott - poorly cited
• Joaquin Homs - poorly sourced Well ok: New Grove is hardly poor but we still need more sources anyway --Jubilee♫clipman 21:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Sarah Horick - BLP poorly cited (list of ELs but no inlines)
• Josef Maria Horváth - BLP poorly sourced
• Egil Hovland - BLP unsourced ODM --Kleinzach 08:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC) The top two books in the list are not by the subject so these count as RSs too; needs more English sourcing though --Jubilee♫clipman 21:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Leslie Howard (musician) - BLP unsourced ODM --Kleinzach 08:24, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
• Nicolaus A. Huber - BLP unsourced extensively revised by Jerome Kohl mostly drawing from German WP article; needs verifying and more sourcing from English too if possible. Good work JK! --Jubilee♫clipman 21:37, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Franz Hummel - BLP unsourced Update I have asked for expansion from German WP entry, too --Jubilee♫clipman 21:37, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I

• Shin-ichiro Ikebe - BLP unsourced was wrongly tagged but article needs inline citations and expansion, anyway --Jubilee♫clipman 21:48, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Kamran Ince - ref improve BLP
• Maki Ishii - ref improve BLP - they all appear to be primaries,so far --Jubilee♫clipman 21:51, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Manuel Rocha Iturbide - no footnotes, though there is a huge list of ELs

J

• Guus Janssen - single source BLP stub
• Zoltán Jeney - BLP unsourced
• Tom Johnson (composer) - BLP poorly sourced; non-dead links are all primary sources; no inlines
• Fergus Johnston - BLP unsourced (though tagged as ref improve because of his official site); his notability is also not established; also a rather odd see also section...
• Betsy Jolas - BLP stub in need of expansion ODM --Kleinzach 05:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
• David Evan Jones - BLP unsourced; also appears to be largely autobiographical according to the latest edit note - copyvio - Update - now stubbed and sourced.
• Samuel Jones (composer) - BLP unsourced
• Leroy Jenkins (jazz musician) - non-classical Removed from list (please verify as non-classical)

K

• Mauricio Kagel - citation style unclear and several citation needed tags ODM --Kleinzach 05:42, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
• Imants Kalniņš - BLP unsourced
• Alexander Kaloian - no inline citations and in need of cleanup
• Shigeru Kan-no - BLP unsourced (his website has vanished and the other site is undergoing a redesign, but even if they are relinked correctly other sources would need to be found)
• Giya Kancheli - BLP needing more inlines and better sourcing ODM --Kleinzach 05:46, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
• Nikolai Kapustin - inaccurate multi-tag (only one tag) but needs better sourcing
• Richard Karpen - BLP mainly based on primary sources
• Yury Kasparov - BLP possibly lifted from Living composers project, though concentrating mainly on the several versions of his name (!); poorly sourced, too; possibly non-notable certainly notable (see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Contemporary_music#Yury_Kasparov for more) - Update - this has been extensively revised but still needs more. It now sits at Yuri Kasparov.
• Georg Katzer - BLP with single source (though a good one) and simply translated from German Wiki Update - Jerome Kohl has expanded and sourced from German publications; we could do with a few more English sources if possible but this is a good start --Jubilee♫clipman 22:05, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Hiba Kawas - BLP requiring cleanup and better citation (the tag is actually wrong, BTW) I updated the tag --Jubilee♫clipman 22:09, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Alison Kay - BLP unsourced and orphaned
• Donald Keats - BLP poorly cited and requiring expansion
• Nigel Keay - BLP unsourced (all inline ELs are from his own website)
• Daniel Kellogg - BLP poorly sourced
• John Kenny (trombonist) - BLP poorly sourced from primary sources only
• Tikhon Khrennikov - Copyedit and check balance and tone no real problem beyond a weird tag near the bottom.../...which is explained on the talk page. ODM --Kleinzach 06:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC) - Ah! That explains it. There was a major edit war after MLobanova (talk · contribs) added a fair amount to balance up the article but a lot still needs to be done to help it. Copyediting the additions would be a good start... --Jubilee♫clipman 02:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
• Wojciech Kilar - BLP poorly cited and requiring better sources (reasonable article actually)
• Alastair King - BLP stub unsourced
• Hikari Kiyama - BLP poorly sourced and requiring major cleanup
• Phil Kline - BLP poorly sourced
• Alexander Knayfel - BLP needing more sources and citation
• Akil Mark Koci - BLP poorly sourced and requiring cleanup
• Hans Kockelmans - BLP stub poorly sourced
• Graeme Koehne - citation style unclear (bio needs far more inline) ODM --Kleinzach 06:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
• Gottfried Michael Koenig - BLP poorly sourced (own page and one German page) ODM --Kleinzach 06:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC) update I cleaned this up a little and removed the pointless See Also; if OK, I'll remove from list --Jubilee♫clipman 22:35, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Jan Koetsier - poorly sourced (German plus one deadlinked PDF)
• Panayiotis Kokoras - BLP poorly sourced (Greek and French)
• Jo Kondo - BLP poorly sourced (mainly) from primary sources
• Mark Kopytman - needs Wikifying and cleanup (especially a clear lead)
• Constantine Koukias - BLP poorly cited
• Zygmunt Krauze - BLP poorly sourced
• Joseph-François Kremer - BLP to be expanded from French
• Johannes Kretz - BLP with multiple issues: notability, COI, resumé, all since 2008
• Gary Kulesha - minor cleanup
• Petri Kuljuntausta - cleanup but I suspect copyvio too because of formatting and lack of birth etc info in lead. Please check urgently! Update - Random check suggests this as one copyvio source, at least. Further update - Digimedialfa (talk · contribs) is creator and near-exclusive editor who also created the related page Aureobel.
• Andreas Kunstein - BLP unsourced
• Ladislav Kupkovič - BLP needing more sources (Grove only so far) and inlines
• György Kurtág - BLP with single source tag and a mergefrom tag. ODM and I've removed the merge tags. Kurtág seems to be important. --Kleinzach 23:53, 1 February 2010 (UTC) I quite agree: Kurtág is pretty important. I've tagged the article for more inlines. (Only one of the numerous sources is actually cited inline which probably caused the "single source" tag to be added) --Jubilee♫clipman 00:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

L

• Juan Sebastian Lach - BLP poorly sourced (all primaries plus one deadlink); also, given the near-coincidence (?) in his name with that of Johann Sebastian Bach, we need to be sure this isn't a hoax...
• David Lang (composer) - BLP poorly sourced
• Vanessa Lann - Possibly non-notable (since 2008)
• Paul Lansky - BLP poorly sourced from primaries mainly (though the "soundout" archive actually pretty good)
• André Laporte - BLP needing inlines and more English sources
• Patrick Larley - BLP not cited inline
• Morten Lauridsen - BLP poorly sourced and with poor inlines
• Elodie Lauten - BLP unsourced
• Anne LeBaron - BLP unsourced (or rather: sourced from her own writings only)
• Ulrich Leyendecker - BLP unsourced (single source failed verification) - Update I corrected the link and found a longer PDF document as well. We still need more, though, as this only has one source so far --Jubilee♫clipman 19:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• Dan Locklair - BLP unsourced

M

• John McCabe (composer) - BLP clearly notable but lacking decent non-primary sources needing more work - ODM --Kleinzach 23:58, 1 February 2010 (UTC) {{User:Jerome Kohl|Jerome Kohl]] has added more but this composer needs a far better article all round, really... --Jubilee♫clipman 22:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
• John Mackey (composer) - BLP unsourced (official and myspace only)
• John McLeod (composer) - BLP unsourced ODM --Kleinzach 00:04, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
• Gordon McPherson - BLP unsourced (beyond digitised version of his scores)
• Stuart MacRae - BLP unsourced (primaries only)
• Frederik Magle - BLP unsourced (official only) added references Contrafagotto (talk) 11:12, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
• Edgar Mann → Edgar Mann (composer) (removed from list)
• Bunita Marcus - BLP unsourced (official only)
• Pierre Mariétan - BLP unsourced (official plus one deadlink)
• John Mayer (composer) - recent copyvio issue reported [copyvio resolved] - The stolen iTunes entry might prove useful, however, as might the Encyclopedia.com entry; there are probably many others given the importance of this composer
  • • ODM checked to here --Kleinzach 00:08, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
• [[]] - BLP unsourced
